The 70-71 cables were different from the 72-73 cables in the console area. The early Z choke lever assemblies were beefy and reliable. The later Z had to move the levers to the side due to a transmission change. These assemblies tended to put too much pressure on the plastic console eventually cracking them. No, you cannot buy any old Z choke cable assembly. As someone stated people came up with ways to beef up the later Z console mounting location. When I purchased my replacement at the dealer (long ago) it included the throttle lever cable assembly used in the 70 240Z, and later blanked off for the 71 model. This is the way they sold it, and might be the same today, don't know.
